Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK
Decorative motifs resembling female anatomies—drawn from wallpaper patterns, fabrics, found furniture, and the architectural carvings of the artist’s immediate environment, such as brownstone facades—make their way into her paintings. She reimagines these floral baroque forms as abstract bodies, exploring their interiority and exteriority. She treats the body as a landscape of accumulated experiences, weaving personal mythologies by intertwining the intimate with the ornamental. In doing so, she challenges the conditioned self-image shaped by societal hierarchies of gender, caste, and diasporic dislocation. As she navigates this fragmented terrain of selfhood, she creates space for a multidimensional self—mapping and commemorating healing pathways from self-erasure to self-liberation.
